On this episode we discussed why the Lakers should throw the first play in game to avoid playing the Nuggets round one and then we completely contradicted ourselves by calling the Cavs cowards for throwing their game today in order to avoid the Heat and Sixers in round one. We then talked about the Bucks finishing below .500 with Doc Rivers as head coach and their heated rivalry with the Pacers getting another chapter, this time in the first round of the playoffs. Finally we predicted the results of the Play-In Tournament Games: Sixers vs. Heat, Lakers vs. Pelicans, Warriors vs. Kings and Bulls vs Hawks. Enjoy.
